so i watched this again last night. it's been a while. i'd almost forgotten how good it was.

Prince, holy crap.

this is still one of the best solos I've ever heard, period.

eat your hearts out. here's to an excellent solo by someone who has never been one of my favorite guitarists, but i have to give credit where it's due. he rocks it.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I like that version, but I prefer Jeff Healey's...

    Also, check that trenchcoat on the bass player @ 0:38...

    Jeff Healey was simply a monster player. I had his CD (from my dad) for a while before I actually knew he was blind and played like that. All the more amazing.

    Being from Ottawa, he used to come around here a lot.. I always sort of said "I'll catch him next time"... Big mistake... He will be missed.
